Social media reacts to Auburn’s 41-17 win over Western Kentucky
Auburn picked up an emphatic 41-17 win over Western Kentucky Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The Tigers stormed out to a 17-3 lead but a second-quarter surge by the Hilltopper tied it at 17 before halftime. The Tigers came out firing in the second half and outscored them 24-0 to pull away win the win on Senior Night.
The Tigers are now 5-6 on the season and can become bowl eligible with a win over Alabama next week in Tuscaloosa.
Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter led the way for the Tigers. Bigsby ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns while Hunter ran for 109 yards and one touchdown and threw another one to Koy Moore.
DJ James had a monster game for the defense, making five tackles and putting an exclamation mark on the win with a pick-six in the fourth quarter.
Here are the top social media reactions to the game.

The more I watch Auburn under Cadillac, the more amazed I am that there were people who actually attacked Auburn for firing Bryan Harsin.

Love watching the replay of an obvious un-called hold leading to a touchdown for the other team

What a night to end the career of this senior class in this stadium. The last hoorah was a hell of a time. This group has been through so damn much. Happy as hell they got to end it like that at home behind that kinda energy and support.
War Eagle forever, kids. 🫡

Since Cadillac Williams has taken over as HC, there have been 5 100 yard rushers in 3 games.
There had only been 2 total in the 8 prior games
